Default I am soooo excited
I finally bought a new lens for my camera!

I bought the Promaster 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Tele-Macro lens for my Canon Rebel XS digital SLR camera.

It cost me a little over $200 and well worth the money. I was using the 18-55 lens and man what a difference in the zoom, LOL. I love the macro shots on it, I had to actually stand a few feet away from the subject in order to get the photo, which was nice. I had to stand really close to the subject before, which was uncomfortable. I love the macro feature, and also the zoom, LOL.


I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone. I know many of you can relate to when you got your first lenses.
